My family history is a massive Eastern European disaster. He was probably raised in Lithuania but we're not super sure. Last names on that side are clearly Americanized versions of Eastern European names so it's essentially impossible to trace back with any efficacy.

We call it "business as usual." Just by 'social standing', my largely incomplete family tree spans from destitute Ukrainian Jew to a Prussian count with lots in-between and just as shoddy bookkeeping.

Ha yeah I've got Lithuanian, Polish, Austrian landed gentry, Russian Jew, who knows what else.
